Speaking on behalf of the currently absent fat black and white fish, this sort of thinking was debunked by Sir Karl Popper in his seminal 1957 work "The Poverty of Historicism" :whistle:
Notwithstanding the inevitable kick in the nuts feeling when he scores against us, it would be rather splendid to see him stay and be just as impotent as last season.
Icing on the cake: a highly profitable "singin the blues" season to richly compensate for last year's disappointment.
I read somewherwe that Tony had Frank, Jose, Jurgen, Pep, Ole and Mikel down for a video session at Lancing last week along with a few blokes from Madrid, Munich, Paris, Rome and Milan. They were invited to submit sealed bids by the end of the month and the top three will advance to the open...
Agreed.
If this is true, they can't keep Bielsa without signing White. Under those circumstances £30m doesn't seem enough. TB must be having a little chortle at the prospect of either ...
1. Levying a Bielsa surcharge so Leeds can keep their best player AND their manager
2. Depriving Leeds of...
Thought for a minute it might have been Peter Sayer but, no, Teddy it was. His first teamsheet below v Blackburn, player profile from the Southampton home game at the start of 1978 and the stats page from the last home game that season
Harry, sorry to hear you're getting nobbled by the demon drink. You always sounded above such earthly concerns but I guess we all have a tipping point. Even contemplating that you might have reached yours is a step in the right direction. For some of us there just comes a time when you have to...
I should know better but ...
Any reputable textbook discussing the post hoc fallacy will include examples such as the cock (Bielsa) causing the sun to rise (White to improve). That's what I referred you to :shrug:
As for the guff about ergo :rotlf:
I'll follow HWT's recommendation for...
Look here, fat fish,
Stepping stones
Ben is but one of a number of excellent prospects lucky enough to be part of BHA's player development programme. He had little or no agency in the choice of loan last year - all of that was planned under BHA's guiding hand, just like his previous six years...
Bielsa ... what a load of cock.
The theory: this renaissance man, this genius, the maestro that is Bielsa sprinkled his fairy dust over Ben White and a star was born.
The reality:
18 yo Ben White made his professional debut for BHA
19 yo Ben White loaned to Newport, hailed as a future star...
I understand what you're saying, RS, but I would cut NSC a bit of slack on this one. It's relatively easy to spot a wrong 'un like the Palace pillocks but KW made a good fist of appearing plausible to start with. We gave him the benefit of the doubt initially but I get the feeling the NSC worm...
